Hey Mike
I checked the FCC records and found this freq listed to the NC Highway Patrol at a site in Columbia with 100 watts output. That might be what you were hearing. The application specifically does not say VIPER but was submitted along with a large batch of VIPER applications when the application was put in. WQDF207 is the callsign. I checked all the VIPER sites and nothing is listed on RadioReference as far as VIPER goes except 2 sites (not local). But freqs might have changed at one of the local sites around here like Winfall, Eliz City or South Mills. I'll put it in my scanner and see if I can hear anything in Chowan

There is a prison in Pasquotank County so what you heard would make sense.
But the prison ops are on low band. Transportation is on VIPER and all the internal ops are on low bank. Off the top of my head I think 42.56. I live too far to hear it from my house, but I sat down the road from it around 2 months ago and heard guards patrolling the perimeter talking to one of the vehicles on low band. I also heard a transport vehicle calling another prison in NC saying they were departing the prison in Eliz City enroute to their destination. I can always drive up there and see what I hear near the prison but nothing else is listed in the FCC database for NC except VIPER.
Mike, where in the county were you when you heard that signal? Did it come up frequently? What did you hear on it? Data, voice?
Thanks
Richard

Just for clarification, the NAC definitely confirms it's for VIPER.
When a Type 2 voice channel is transmitted in digital, it uses an NAC derived from the System ID and connect tone. The last 2 digits of the system ID represent the first of the NAC, and then the third digit of the NAC relates to the connect tone.
So you get C508 and 2 relates to 83.72 Hz.

Interesting info trumpetman, so it must have been a viper site in Columbia NC closest area to where I was on route 17
